麻省理工学院“开放式课程网页” | 史隆管理学院 | 15.057 2003春季课程：系统最优化

这门课程内容包含课堂讲授、案例讨论、精选阅读、一本相关参考书目、与有关最优化问题的习题和专案。团体专案报告，提供修课的同学有机会去探讨这门课所没有讨论过的话题，也可根据自己的兴趣去调整课堂上所提供的资料，进一步去探讨并获得更深一层的知识。

The course uses a combination of lectures, case discussions, selected readings, an accompanying textbook, hands-on projects and optimization challenges. It involves a group project that provides students with an opportunity to consider topics that might not otherwise be covered in the course and to tailor the course offerings for their own interests. It also provides an opportunity for them to dig deeper into their areas of interest.

管理者与工程师不断地企图去最优化复杂系统的设计与运作，这们课程属于应用导向的介绍（系统）最优化，并试图去：

激励最优化模型的使用，以支援管理者与工程师在不同的决策环境下做最好的决策；

说明许多不同的应用领域（产业）如何使用最优化技巧；

介绍最优化模型与求解的技巧（包含线性、非线性、整数、网络最优化与启发式算法）；

提供工具去解释与分析由模型所求出的解（敏感度、事后最优化分析与界限法）；

培养确认最优化应用的机会与管理最优化决策支援工具应用的技巧。

Managers and engineers are constantly attempting to optimize, particularly in the design and operation of complex systems. This course is an application-oriented introduction to (systems) optimization. It seeks to:

Motivate the use of optimization models to support managers and engineers in a wide variety of decision making situations;
Show how several application domains (industries) use optimization;
Introduce optimization modeling and solution techniques (including linear, non-linear, integer, and network optimization, and heuristic methods);
Provide tools for interpreting and analyzing model-based solutions (sensitivity and post-optimality analysis, bounding techniques); and
Develop the skills required to identify the opportunity and manage the implementation of an optimization-based decision support tool.
